Labor stories

[Lissaleigh]

I know no one will answer this because no one ever does but I'd like to hear several stories about moms who were terrified about giving birth but did it and surprised themselves by doing so. My time is here and I'm doing everything to try and keep a good mind set! Thank you

I was induced at 41+3 with my first. They put the gel in at 8 am contractions started at about 11 am and then had bub at 530 pm. Was a very easy labour concidering I had heard so many horror stories about being.induced. I didn't.need to be cut and had no tearing. He was 8 pound 6 everyone was pretty amazed that he came out so easy concidering I have pretty little hips. I'm currently 39+4 and am.sitting on a fit ball getting.contractions about 10 12 mins apart. So ill let you know what happens this time lol

You are going to do great!! Us women are amazing creatures lol. I had so much back pain that contractions were hard to count. Got to the hospital ( hubby made me I thought they were just going to say I was a three still, and to go home) I was a at a 9 lol and an hour later with a little help from the vacuum my girl arrived.

I went in for a Dr appt at 40+1 with my first, was dilated to 4. After having contractions for about a week. The Dr decided to induce me. I had to wait til 6 to get the epidural. After the epidural all was smooth sailing!! 10 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing!! All of the pain is so beyond worth it when you are holding your babe in your arms!! They say you forget the pain, not true!! Lol!! But the prize in the end some how gets you through it! Hey it must not be that bad or there would be a lot more only children in this world right!!

I woke up and had period like cramps and figured I had a couple more days.  Wrong! By 6 pm that night I was checked Into the hospital and was 4 cm dilated. I was in so much pain to the point of crying.  By 9 pm I was 7 cm and got an epidursl... which I didn't want to get.  The dr popped my water and I pushed from 4 am to 6:22 when my daughter came out.  Best feeling I'm the world!!!
